Season 71 - Week 4

[talisman]

Palace teams report, Monday...

Desert Rats FC started off the days' play and were in action at home against the 3rd place team. All was well, striker Steve Haddou having put the Rats ahead in the 7th minute, until early in the second half, when the visitors scored two goals in quick succession. Despite all their efforts, the Rats couldn't break through again and they ended up 1-2 losers and in 3rd place in the table.

Palace Casuals were next up and were also playing at home, against 5th place. Right-winger Johan Shaqiri put the Casuals ahead in the 7th minute (spot the common theme) but there the match for the hosts ended, as the visitors scored two in each half to inflict a 1-4 defeat.

The Management has been perusing the Transfer market again, and put a couple of speculative bids on strikers. Got the first after a short fight, and the second insurance bid went through without competition...

3T/$102M



1T/$98.4M



Yuri Boccardo, DMC, (age 19, 4*/142, 30 appearances-1 goal-1 assist), was released for $99.7M.

Palace Terriers played late afternoon and were away at the League leaders. Zdenek Krajca and Alex Bailey scored in the 50th and 55th minutes, respectively, and Terriers took over the League top spot after a 2-0 win. When things are going well, don't relax, as Nordeus always puts a sting in the tail...



The Terriers player concerned hadn't even had a booking previously this season...

[Teda]

Teda won a league match today 1:0. The match was very close although we are much better than the opponent in terms of quality.

Again I stick with 451V, but all my attacking guys were so so today, they all got 7 ratings. The only goal came from one MC.

I am thinking that I might need to make decisions here after tonight. If I am lucky and can get s good ST, I might keep trying 451V otherwise I might need to change my main formation to narrow diamond. I used this formation a lot in my earlier seasons but then I used 442 for couple of seasons then changed to 451V.

Tonight I will see if I can get something good from the auction, who knows... The more you expect the more frustrated you feel...
